AWARDED THE ANDERSON MEDAL 2021This fascinating title offers a new study of the loss of six British ships and an Argentinian cruiser during the Falklands War of 1982.When Argentinian forces invaded the Falklands in April 1982, the British government responded by despatching a task force to the Atlantic to wrest back control of the islands. The resulting war saw modern weapon systems tested in combat for the first time, to tragic effect. In the aftermath, official documents were released, but many were heavily censored, and others withheld altogether, so that a full understanding of those events could not be gained.Drawing from recently declassified and previously unpublished reports from the official inquiry, Dr Paul Brown details the true story behind the dramatic events that led to the loss of six British ships HMS Antelope, Ardent, Coventry and Sheffield, RFA Sir Galahad and SS Atlantic Conveyor as well as the controversial sinking of the Argentinian cruiser ARA General Belgrano by HMS Conqueror.
